Welcome to Evviva Breakfast and Lunch, a charming breakfast restaurant nestled in the heart of Toronto at 25 Lower Simcoe St. If you’re on the hunt for a delightful brunch experience, this gem is not to be missed!

The atmosphere at Evviva is a cozy embrace, inviting you to unwind and indulge in the vibrant culinary offerings. With warm lighting and a contemporary decor that feels both chic and inviting, it's perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a leisurely morning with family. You'll find yourself captivated by the ambiance that adds a sprinkle of magic to your coffee cup and plate.

Boasting a menu that celebrates a range of breakfast favorites, Evviva takes pride in using fresh, quality ingredients. Start your day with one of their gourmet beverages, from a rich caffé mocha to a creamy matcha latte—each sip is a delicious awakening. The infamous French toast, a customer favorite, is a heavenly blend of fluffiness and flavor, while the smoked salmon on toast is a must-try for those looking for something hearty yet sophisticated. And don’t overlook the delightful grilled chicken or salmon from the grill section; they’re perfect for when brunch meets lunch.

What truly sets Evviva apart is the warmth of its service. Guests often rave about the friendly staff who go above and beyond to create a memorable dining experience. Take, for example, Sritama, who described their brunch as “amazing” and noted, “the food was delicious.” Or E Stewart, who felt right at home amid the charming decor while enjoying their fluffy pancakes and rich hot chocolate. The personal touch here is palpable, from attentive servers to cheerful greetings.

However, it’s not all sunshine; some patrons have mentioned the pricing as a bit steep for what they received. Sean Gallagher shared that while flavorful, the $25 French toast didn’t quite exceed expectations. Yet, with rave reviews from others like Nicole Chapman and Gicell Reyes, it appears that the overall experience tends to outweigh occasional concerns on pricing.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, like Esther's birthday where her party was surprised with a waffle cake, or just looking for a cozy spot to start your day, Evviva Breakfast and Lunch promises a memorable experience. Don’t forget—though they don’t take reservations, the wait is often manageable, making your breakfast adventure feel spontaneous yet rewarding.

We had an amazing brunch. They do not take reservations so we waited for a bit. But the food was delicious. The drinks were nice too. Just loved it. The restaurant is very pretty.

Kim was our waitress, she is firyah!!! Grabbed the healthy heart breakfast, smoked salmon is my weakness. Had fluffy pancakes, sauces yes please. The mocha and maple lattes were delicious and so was the hot chocolate. I am on vacation, safe space. The decor is so cute, definitely makes for nice pics. I waited 15- 20 minutes max, I recommend this spot. Bonus is it very close to the CN Tower and Aquarium. Grab those timed tickets and head here for food!

We were looking for a nice place to have breakfast near our hotel (Hilton) and a friend who visited Toronto suggested this place. We were not disappointed! The service was fast and the welcome warm. I had the French toast and it was delicious. The plates were big and the flavors fresh. The waitress came over a few times to ask if we needed anything else. A great discovery that allowed us to eat well before catching the train back to Montreal at Union.

First time here, very welcoming and seemed like a very nice spot. The prices were the concern and I know it's Toronto but the breakfast didn't blow my socks off by any means. I had French toast for $25 was tasty but not worth that unfortunately. Waitress was great but unfortunately felt it was underwhelming.

We had brunch at Evviva and loved it! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, Santiago was our server and he was super friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and flavorful. Loved the fresh squeezed orange juice and everything we ordered. Definitely a great spot for brunch with the girls. Highly recommend!

I visited this place for breakfast and overall had a very good experience. We had to wait about 20–25 minutes for a table, but the process was fast and well-managed, so it didn’t feel inconvenient. The outdoor seating, however, was quite congested and a warm breeze seemed to be coming from the overhead vents, which wasn’t very comfortable. Luckily, on request, the staff accommodated us with a table inside, and the indoor atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. For food, we ordered the French toast and Florentine eggs benedict — both were delicious, with the eggs cooked to perfection. The iced latte was decent, though not the highlight of the meal. The service stood out — the staff were very attentive and cordial throughout. Overall, it’s a great spot for breakfast or brunch, with tasty food and excellent service. I’d definitely come back again.

We went for my birthday and it was so special. Anthony our waiter was very kind, patient, and helpful with the menu. I enjoyed the vegan steak! To my surprise at the end, staff brought out a small waffle cake and sang me happy birthday! We will definitely come back!
